The exploding need for mobile app development

Demand for mobile apps is exploding. Computer Weekly looks at taking an agile approach to app development, finding apps to suit diverse needs, and using apps to drive customer engagement.

Research from managed hosting supplier Globix suggests application development will top the 2006 IT budget at 20.7% of spend, even outstripping investment in network security.

But at the same time, spend on technical support will plunge by three quarters next year, from 10.9% of IT budget in 2005 to 2.7% in 2006, leaving few internal resources to cope with any software glitches.

The 196 senior IT decision makers surveyed said they would cope with this support deficit by siphoning 19.1% of budgets to outsourcing their infrastructure management and hosting.
